But if a man be justified by faith alone, and so by the death of Christ; then a man is crucified with Christ: and if a man be crucified, or if you be crucified with Christ, how then do you live? Yes, (says he at the 20. ver.) I am crucified with Christ, Nevertheless I live, yet not I, but Christ liveth in me.
But if a man be justified by faith alone, and so by the death of Christ; then a man is crucified with Christ: and if a man be crucified, or if you be crucified with Christ, how then do you live? Yes, (saies he at the 20. ver.) I am crucified with Christ, Nevertheless I live, yet not I, but Christ liveth in me.
Nevertheless] or now I live. [I live] that is, a spiritual life. There is a Natural life: and there is a Spiritual life. He does not here speak of the Natural life, when he says, Nevertheless I live; because he adds, yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: that is, Spiritually. And when he says, I live: he speaks it in the Person of every Believer: not in his Own Person, but he personates a Believer all along. I through the Law, am dead to the Law, that I might live to God; I a Believer. And, I am crucified with Christ: I a Believer. And, Nevertheless I live. All along he does personate a Believer, and does not speak in his own Person, but in the Person of a Believer. And he says here, Nevertheless I live. He had said before, That we are justified by Faith alone, and not by the works of the Law: and that a Believer was crucified with Christ. Now (says he) This Doctrine that I have preached unto you, is no way opposite unto our Spiritual life, or unto our Holiness; yet, now I live, or, nevertheless I live. From whence then you may observe these Two things.
